Education and Industry Readiness

Abstract

The study’s objective is to identify any possible discrepancies between the education having been taught and the job. The study used a sample population of 32 people. The data was collected using the purposive sampling method. The results showed that there is a gap between education and being industry ready. A small percentage agree that there is no gap between their education and their current professional role. However, an excessively high number agree that there is a gap, leading to the conclusion that there may be a fundamental gap between education and industrial preparation. The results also showed that irrespective of specialisation, the view of a gap being there was the same.
